Yesterday's Recap

US markets reopened after the July 4 holiday with divergent equity performance. The Dow Jones advanced 1.14% to 52,900.07 while the Nasdaq 100 fell 1.61% to 29,329.21. Treasury yields climbed, with the 2-year rising 0.72% to 4.17% and the 10-year up 0.90% to 4.48%.

USD/JPY strengthened 0.53% to 162.31 as EUR/USD eased 0.01% to 1.14. Gold gained 1.32% to 4,166.80 while WTI crude slipped 0.45% to 68.38. Bitcoin declined 1.20% to 62,782.60.

No major data releases occurred on July 5, leaving price action driven by positioning ahead of the services PMI.

The Day Ahead

The June services PMI at 6:00 ET carries high impact with consensus at 54.0 versus 54.5 prior. Fed Governor Waller speaks at 7:00 ET on monetary policy. Tomorrow brings ADP employment, exports, imports and the trade balance.

FOMC minutes on July 8 will provide fresh guidance on the 3.63% fed funds rate. Markets will watch for any signals on the path of quantitative tightening. Oil inventory data midweek may influence energy prices.

Other Economic Notes

The 4.3% unemployment rate and 2.31% CPI indicate a labor market that remains balanced while inflation sits near target. Steady growth persists without overheating signals in the verified data. Treasury yields reflect expectations that the 3.63% policy rate will hold for several months.

Equity breadth has narrowed, with large-cap indices showing resilience despite higher borrowing costs. Broader activity measures point to moderate expansion rather than acceleration.

Global Macro News (continued)

Trade tensions with China continue to shape tariff hearings involving Brazilian officials. Euro-area PMI revisions remain soft, supporting modest ECB easing that could widen yield differentials with the US. Global hiring data showed US payrolls slowing in June, trimming rate-cut bets elsewhere.

Oil markets face pressure from OPEC+ output signals and weak China demand readings.

Fed Watch

The Federal Reserve maintains the fed funds rate at 3.63% with no immediate change signaled in verified data. Waller’s speech today will likely reinforce data dependence ahead of the July minutes. CPI at 2.31% and unemployment at 4.3% align with the committee’s forward guidance favoring patience.

OIS pricing shows limited cuts priced for 2026, consistent with the upper end of prior dot-plot projections. Quantitative tightening continues at a measured pace without announced acceleration. Markets interpret recent communications as keeping policy restrictive until inflation shows clearer convergence to target.
